摘要:
A system for variable actuation of an engine valve of an internalcombustion engine comprises a master piston (16) driven directly or indirectly by a cam (14) of a camshaft (11). A slave piston (21) is driven by said master piston (16) by means of a volume of pressurized fluid (C) interposed between the master piston (16) and the slave piston (21). The slave piston (21) causes the engine valve (7) to open, against the action of a spring (9). An electrically operated control valve (24) controls a communication between the volume of pressurized fluid (C) and an environment at lower pressure (23), with which a fluid accumulator (270) is in communication. An electronic control unit (25) is programmed for controlling the electrically operated control valve (24), so as to actuate the engine valve (7), depending upon the operating conditions, according to one or more different valve modes, including a late-valve-opening (LVO) mode and/or a multilift (ML) valve mode. When one of these valve modes is actuated, the control valve (24) opens the aforesaid communication in advance with respect to the end of the lift cycle of the cam (14), and not after closing of the engine valve (7), in such a way as to prevent or reduce a decrease in pressure in the volume of pressurized fluid (C) after closing of the engine valve (7).
摘要:
A fuel injection system for an internal combustion engine, comprising: at least one fuel electroinjector; and one electronic control unit designed to supply the fuel electroinjector, in a fuel injection phase in an engine cylinder, with at least a first electrical command to perform a pilot fuel injection, and a second electrical command to perform a main fuel injection. The first and second electrical commands are separated in time by an electrical dwell time such that the main fuel injection starts without interruption with respect to the pilot fuel injection. The electrical dwell time between the first and second electrical commands belongs to an electrical dwell time range in which the total fuel amount injected in the pilot and main fuel injections in a fuel injection phase in an engine cylinder is substantially constant.

A fuel injector servovalve (5) has a control chamber and a fixed stem (38), on which a slidable sleeve (41) is fitted; the sleeve ' (41) is actuated by a spring (23) and by an electromagnet (16) for opening/closing a discharge duct outlet made on the side surface (39) of the fixed stem; the servovalve has a lamina (13), which is located between the core (19) of the electromagnet and an armature (17) coupled to the sleeve (20); when the armature (17) is attracted into the end-of -travel position by the electromagnet, the lamina is located in axial contact against a surface of the armature and against a surface of the core, and there are gaps for the fuel in the axial direction between such surfaces.
摘要:
In an internal combustion engine provided with an electro-hydraulic system for variable actuation of the intake valves of the engine, each cylinder has two intake valves (VT, VS), associated with two intake conduits. A first intake conduit (4T) is configured so as to generate, within the cylinder, a main tumble motion, a cross-tumble motion and a swirl motion of the airflow. A second intake conduit (4S) has a scroll-type configuration, so as to generate a swirl motion of the airflow within the cylinder in a direction opposite to that of the swirl motion induced by the first intake conduit (4T). An electronic controller (25) is configured to partially or entirely open the intake valve (VT) associated to the first intake conduit in a condition of reduced operation of the engine, below a predetermined engine load and/or below a predetermined engine rotational speed, and to always open both the intake valves (VT, VS) in the remaining conditions of operation of the engine.

According to the method, fuel is injected into a combustion chamber of an internal-combustion engine via an atomizer (10) provided with a nozzle (11) having an internal seat (13) and a sealing seat (21); the atomizer is moreover provided with a valve needle (12) having a head (20) designed to couple to the sealing seat (21) and a stem (41), which engages the internal seat (13); the stem (41) and the nozzle (11) define a passage (16) having an annular chamber (43), which axially ends at the sealing seat (21); the stem (41) has an intermediate portion (45) coupled in an axially sliding way in the internal seat (13) and defining a plurality of channels (67), the outlets (72) of which are arranged at the annular chamber (43); the sealing seat (21) and the head (20) of the valve needle (12) define a outflow area (14), which is annular and has a width that increases as the opening stroke of the valve needle (12) progresses; the fuel is injected in such a way as to have a non-uniform velocity modulus at the outflow area (14), as the position in the circumferential direction varies, at least in a reference operating condition of the engine.
